3.4.1.3 Battery Charging
Whilst the trailer is being towed the towing vehicle supplies power to the trailer to charge the
battery. If battery charge is low and your journey is short it is unlikely the battery will be fully
charged at your destination. It is advisable to fully charge the battery before each trip. Avoid running
the battery flat as this will shorten the life of the battery.
To charge the battery (trailers without 230v hook up):
1. Turn off all appliances
2. Disconnect the electrical connector to the towing vehicle.
3. Un-strap the battery box and lift off the lid.
4. Using a spanner disconnect the battery at the negative “-“ terminal.
5. Connect and charge with a suitable battery charger and follow the chargers instructions.
6. After charging reconnect the “-ve” terminal, replace the lid and strap up the battery box.
7. Re-set the time on the control panel. See 3.4.1.2
Do not use a standard car battery charger as many are not suitable for charging a leisure battery and
may damage the battery. Some modern car battery chargers with monitoring electronics are
suitable, check the charger states it is suitable for leisure batteries before using it.
If there is a risk of rain falling on the battery charger and circuit, or any other safety risk, remove the
battery from the trailer and charge it indoors/undercover in a well ventilated area.
Always disconnect the electrical connector between the towing vehicle and the trailer before
connecting a 230 volt supply to the trailer and before charging the auxiliary leisure battery by any
other means.
